Working in a public school, the "H word" has been banned, so we have to refer to it as October 31st. To be honest, that sucks!!! My three year old loves Halloween, yes I said it!! I am going to her school party tomorrow, and she is going to be a wicked witch. Does anyone want to guess what I am going to be???? Come on, give it a shot...Well since you are not going to guess, I will tell you. I am going to be a daddy wicked witch. Yes, you read right. I AM going to let my daughter paint my face green and I will wear a witch hat. You know what the sad part is? As I leave her school to go to work, I am going to have to wipe the paint off my face. I can't enjoy this one day where it should be alright to pretend. I have to follow the rules. I don't want my daughter to ever think it is not okay to express herself or to pretend. Kids grow up SOOOOO fast, why not let them be kids for a while? Why can't a first grade student think he is Spider-man or she is Hannah Montana for a day? What is the harm in that? As a counselor, I will answer that question...Nothing!!! That is why as long as my daughter wants to paint my toe nails or face, it is okay with me. As long as she wants to sing Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus with me in the car, why not!!! Let kids be kids. They have to grow up too fast.
Until next time Bloggerville!

Ha that is so sweet that you are getting dressed up. Thanks for commenting on my blog. My nephew loves to draw. Happy writings!
Thanks for the comment on my blog too!! It's always exciting to know I have new readers and commenters!!
I too am a teacher and I have to admit I get kind of irritated with the whole dressing up thing at school because it is SO distracting but you know what? You are exactly right!! What's wrong with Kids being kids for a day!! They do grow up so fast and they have the rest of their lives to be serious! So you may have just changed my mind!!
